Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Summary
The American Security Robotics Act stops federal departments from procuring or operating unmanned ground vehicle systems that are manufactured by entities in designated foreign nations. Only a narrow set of agencies—Homeland Security, Defense, State, and Justice—may get an exemption when the technology is needed for national‑interest research, counter‑terrorism, or similar missions and can be secured against data leaks. The goal is to reduce security and cyber risks from foreign‑controlled robotics.
